STATE OF MAINE SUPERIOR COURT CIVIL ACTION YORK, ss. DOCKET NO. CV-06-067
PETER THROUMOULOS,
Plaintiff
ORDER
CHRISTINE FOSTER,
Defendant
Following review, Mr. Throumoulos' Application to Proceed Without Fees is
Denied without prejudice. A fair reading of the complaint reveals that Mr.
Throumoulos' complaint seeks to hold Maine District Court Judge Christine Foster
liable for acts she took in her official capacity as a judicial officer. Maine law is well
settled that judges enjoy absolute immunity from civil suits for damages arising from
their judicial acts. Richards v. Ellis, et al., 233 A.2d 37 (Me. 1967). Thus, the initiation of
this action would appear to be futile. However, if Mr. Throumoulos pays the filing fees
within seven days, the case may proceed.
